Ocean Sensory Bin

I've seen many beach themed sensory bins around the blogosphere that I absolutely adored, so I decided to make one for little man. Let's just say it was a BIG hit! He must have played for an hour or more.

Materials:

Dollar store toys: dolphin, submarines, fish, shark

Seashells

Water Beads

We played with and without water. It's hard to see the water beads above, but little man had fun playing with them in the water.

Blond Duck.. Good questions! I wasn't aware of sensory bins with my first 2 children until they went to preschool. They are great for fine-motor skills, beginning math skills- transferring, free-play, and more. Here's a great blog post that goes into more detail..http://www.apurposedrivenhome.com/sensory-bins-whats-the-point/Jen
